\nSittings: Sitting of 11 July 2024
\nReport and general discussion on bill 8340, which creates a dedicated anti-money-laundering office inside the Registration, Domains and VAT Administration after Council of Europe and FATF recommendations; every group announced its agreement and the bill was voted with dispensation from the second constitutional vote.
\nMaurice Bauer (CSV), welcoming the bill on behalf of his group:
\n\n\nAls CSV-Fraktioun begréisse mir dëse Projet de loi, well e beweist, dass mir de Kampf géint d’Wäisswäsche vu Gelder an d’Finanzéierung vum Terrorismus ganz eescht huelen.
\n
As the CSV group we welcome this bill, because it shows that we take the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism very seriously.

\nAndré Bauler (DP), citing an estimate of the money laundered in the European Union each year:
\n\n\nEsou geschat – dat hu mer mol bei eiser Fraktioun nogekuckt – géifen dann all Joer tëschent 117 an 210 Milliarden Euro an der Europäescher Unioun wäissgewäsch ginn, wann een deenen Zuele ka gleewen.
\n
On that estimate, which we checked in our group, between 117 and 210 billion euros are laundered in the European Union every year, if those figures can be believed.
\nSitting of 11 July 2024, André Bauler, DP
\nSven Clement (Piraten), stating a figure on daily drug money laundering to show why the text matters:
\n\n\nWéi wichteg dësen Text ass, weist aleng déi Zuel, datt all Dag Drogendealer mussen iwwer 70 Milliounen Dollar wäschen, fir se erëm iergendwéi kënnen ze notzen.
\n
Just how important this text is, is shown by the single figure that every day drug dealers have to launder over 70 million dollars to be able to use it again somehow.
